This workshop explores how we might create stories that celebrate and reclaim our own rich culture and heritage by weaving colloquial dialect and cultural references and into our work to create a sense of place, person and story.
How can our personal vernacular add authenticity and originality to our stories? How does dialect look on the page? How can we engage the reader with linguistic puzzles without overwhelming the work? How do we avoid and subvert class stereotypes when writing dialect and what connections and reconnections can we make when writing about ‘home’?
